"Abandoned Children of the Italian Renaissance: Orphan Care in Florence and Bologna" by Nicholas Terpstra is a study that examines how Renaissance Italy dealt with orphaned and abandoned children. The book explores the evolution of orphanages and conservatories from their early beginnings as small-scale institutions to the larger, more centralized systems that emerged in the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries. Terpstra analyzes the social, economic, and religious forces that shaped orphan care, including the role of family, community, and the state. He also examines the different approaches taken by Florentine and Bolognese orphanages in terms of their organization, management, and the treatment of their wards. Terpstra's work sheds light on the challenges faced by orphaned and abandoned children during this period and highlights the complexities of social welfare in Renaissance Italy.
